However, if you keep buffing 2h jobs, it's just going to go back to the old days of 2h only. All three of the weapon types(fencer, dw, 2h) have their niches and are all around equally useful and good. The new grip from Omen called "Utu grip" with the stats listed below is completely insane:
HP+70 Accuracy+30 Attack+30 Weapon skill DEX +10%
This grip might change things and make 2h the default choice for DD again, though, which isn't good. Yes, the grip adds a 10% dex modifier to all your WS when equipped.
Please stop buffing 2h jobs. They do not need anymore buffs, they are perfectly fine how they are. The player base is just very slow at catching on to how powerful jobs actually are.
Sincerely, a 2h job main player.
